FOR THE RECORD

Black folks have made our home in Portland for centuries. That reads as fiction to some, but dig through any city archive and you’ll find our shine. That documentation is powerful in a city where our community is intimately sized; it serves like a family album, picturing generations of cousins, aunties and uncles who made space in the northwest for you to be. The artists in this gallery extend that same tradition. Their photos preserve their lives today. For the Record.

This gallery will introduce folks to the "Black, Black History Month” Pop-Up museum in Old Town. More to come.
